I was gonna wait until the 2 year mark for an update (February 9th) but since the Sonata just had it's first repair, I figured I might as well.
So I bought my 15' Sonata used almost 2 years ago at 52k miles. So far, at just shy of 90k miles, it hasn't had what I would call real repairs until now. All it has had is 2 headlight bulbs (I used to work night shift) and a new battery (almost 3-1/2 years) in Phoenix, which surprised me it lasted that long.
So the first repair? A new outer CV boot for the driver's side. It got a tiny hair line crack in it and was starting to sling grease. While my mechanic had it taken apart I had him do the inner boot as well, with OEM boots. The whole cost was $217, but if I had him just do the outer boot (all it technically needed) it would have been $144.
$144 in actual real repairs needed for 90k miles, which I'm happy with.
The car is extremely comfortable and drives great, I have no complaints. This spring it'll need brake pads and tires.
